It gets better.

A day after the 8th grade varsity shredded visiting Northshore Monday, the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball squads endured a long bus trip to Sultan, returning home with four wins in as many games.

Dominating the host Turks at every step Tuesday, the Wolves held Sultan’s JV teams completely scoreless, with the 7th grade squad winning 10-0 and the 8th grade team coming out on top 9-0.

The 7th grade varsity game was the most competitive of the afternoon, with CHS pulling out a 20-13 win, while Coupeville’s 8th grade varsity rolled to a convincing 33-13 rout.

The benches will be full.

With 29 girls turning out for the first day of practice Tuesday — and the strong possibility more players will show up during the first week — the Coupeville Middle School girls’ basketball programs look strong.

Strong enough that head coaches Bob Martin (7th grade) and Brett Smedley (8th) have received approval for an assistant coach to help out.

Martin was thrilled with the early numbers (“We’ve had a great turnout and Brett and I have seen progression”) and plans to push for the middle school players to help out their high school counterparts when the Coupeville Boys & Girls Club starts holding basketball clinics.
